Prerequisites

For Ubuntu 20.04 smart card login, smartcardloginenabler package from Wyse Management Suite must be installed.

  • Ensure that the DNS server is configured correctly.
  • Ensure that the date and time of your Dell Hybrid Client are synchronized with the date and time of the domain server. For more information about how to configure date and time using Wyse Management Suite, see, Configure the date and time.
    NOTE:By default Auto time zone is enabled and works if Internet is enabled.
  • Ensure that the Dell Hybrid Client is registered to Wyse Management Suite.

For multiple Organizational Units (OUs), you must mention the sublevels that are separated by a forward slash /. For example, if the full distinguished name is OU=test,OU=blrtest,OU=blr,DC=blrbrmcloud,DC=com, the OU name must be specified as /blr/blrtest/test.
